Breast Cancer TherapyA theranostic, enzymatically biodegradable nanoplatform based on luminescent carbon particles decorated with cucurbit[6]uril is introduced for enhancing the solubility of niclosamide, a STAT-3 inhibitor.On page 5845, D. Pan and co-workers reveal that, overall, the supramolecular chemistry on nanocarbon acts as a novel arsenal for STAT-3 inhibition in vitro and in vivo and provides signature intracellular tracking. Wearable SensorsA thermally and mechanically robust Ag nanowire-embedded colorless polyimide (Ag NW-CPI) heater is developed for a substrate for wearable chemical sensors by I.-D.Kim and co-workers, on page 5826.Optically reduced graphene oxide (ORGO) sheets are integrated on the Ag NW-CPI heater as a chemical sensing layer.Improved reversible NO 2 reaction kinetics of ORGO sheets are achieved by heat generation of an Ag NW-CPI heater. MicroswimmersCombining catalytic Janus swimmers and passive beads in narrow channels, L. Baraban and co-workers observe many dynamic properties, ranging from distinct bulk and boundary-free diffusivity at low densities, whereby a Janus swimmer transports large clusters of passive particles.This research (on page 5882) is an important milestone towards understanding and further fabrication of realistic bioinspired complex networks, containing synthetic autonomous micro-and nanomachines to perform the tasks in a mixture with passive objects.Image created by Julian Schütt.
